I too have tuned into silence...(i.e. I'm at work...Ironic isn't it...they let me waste time on the internet, but I cant have music...)

The little Dublin heart is currently being melted by the impossible delicacy and gentle soulfulness of "In the Heart of the Moon" by the two Mali boys Ali Farka Toure and Toumani Diabate.
About one third traditional and the remainder being shared out by the two boys original compositions, this is an astounding album that I have been playing constantly for about a week now.
The week before that I came across a "Best of Shamus Tansey" CD which comes in at just over thirty seven minutes so I assume it was an Album originally.I have never heard such a huge tone being produced on a flute and the piano backing is rather tasteful and quite back in the mix giving the flute plenty of room to breathe, so to speak.
For the first time in my life I'm toying with the idea of buying a flute but hopefully I'll wise up when the initial impact of this album subsides
Slan,

That's interesting. I owned his Easter Snow a number of years ago, and I can recal being utterly underwhelmed by it, but I keep hearing about what a smashing fluter (as well as being a fine gentleman, I might add) he is.dubhlinn wrote: The week before that I came across a "Best of Shamus Tansey" CD which comes in at just over thirty seven minutes so I assume it was an Album originally.I have never heard such a huge tone being produced on a flute and the piano backing is rather tasteful and quite back in the mix giving the flute plenty of room to breathe, so to speak.

I have heard many contrasting opinions of Tanseys playing over the years and my knowledge of flute matters is tiny.Apart from whistles, all my instruments are stringed.s1m0n wrote:That's interesting.

I will check out some more Tansey, especially Easter Snow, but on the evidence of The Best of...I am rapidly becoming a fan.That strong attacking style appeals to me.He takes no prisoners with his playing style, just goes in hard from the start.
Hope that makes sense

I believe Easer Snow is widely believed to be an unfortuate depiction of his abilities, and is marred by awful cynth backing, etc.
